Chapter 469 Instant Enlightenment
Yorick came back quickly with a bunch of silver needles.
In the villa, on the second floor.
Inside one of the rooms.
Esmeralda had just taken a bath and walked over, wrapped in a towel.
Larry was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Paisley stood nearby.
Paisley glanced at Esmeralda as she emerged from the bathroom and asked, "Esmeralda, you ready?"
Esmeralda's face was slightly flushed, either from the bath or from embarrassment.
She nodded gently, her face still red.
Then, she walked over to the bed and sat in front of Larry.
She removed the towel.
She was bare on top, but still had something on below.
Despite her young age, her body was well-developed and voluptuous.
Larry, sitting cross-legged, had been meditating for a while and was completely calm.
Paisley opened the silver needles and began sterilizing them.
Once everything was ready, Larry started giving instructions.
Paisley followed Larry's directions and began inserting the needles into Esmeralda's body.
Soon, her body was covered with silver needles.
At that moment, Esmeralda could clearly feel a surge of energy rapidly gathering inside her.
Larry instructed, "Esmeralda, raise your hand."
"Okay." Esmeralda raised her hand.
Larry raised his hand too, pressing his palm against Esmeralda's.
"Paisley, use your Qi to stimulate the cold energy inside Esmeralda."
The cold energy had already gathered inside her, but Esmeralda couldn't control it. The silver needles had concentrated the cold energy, but it needed an external force to activate it.
Paisley raised her hand, channeling her Qi, and placed it on Esmeralda's back, infusing her with energy to stimulate the cold energy.
The cold energy quickly flowed through her meridians.
At that moment, you could clearly see the veins bulging on her arm, like a snake rapidly moving.
In an instant, the cold energy was driven into her palm and then into Larry's palm.
As the cold energy entered his body, Larry felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.
Simultaneously, as the cold energy entered his body, his blood began to show signs of freezing, and its flow slowed down.
"Whoa!" Larry took a deep breath.
This was just a small amount of cold energy, and he could barely handle it.
Esmeralda's constitution was truly remarkable. She could endure so much cold energy. Her body was perfect for cultivating ice Qi. Once she mastered it, she could become a top-tier expert.
Now that the cold energy had entered Larry's body, he needed to control, absorb, and refine it, converting it into his own Qi.
After the initial shock, Larry reminded, "Paisley, keep an eye on Esmeralda. Make sure her Qi doesn't disperse. Although I've used the silver needles to seal off other meridians, preventing the cold energy from spreading, the needles will continue to gather the cold energy inside her. If it becomes too strong, it might break through, and you'll need to use your Qi to maintain it."
"Got it."
Paisley nodded.
Larry then closed his eyes.
He entered a meditative state, using the methods recorded in the medical texts to try to control the cold energy.
This cold energy wasn't Qi, but it was more powerful.
Larry easily activated it.
In an instant, the cold energy flowed through his meridians like a rushing river, spreading throughout his body.
Larry's skin began to freeze.
"What?"
Esmeralda looked at the ice forming on Larry's face and couldn't help but ask, "Paisley, is this safe?"
Paisley replied, "It should be fine. Your constitution allows you to endure the cold energy, but Larry's is different. He needs to convert the cold energy into his own Qi."
Gradually, the ice on Larry's skin melted away.
About half an hour later.
Larry opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face. "It's done. I've converted all the cold energy into my own Qi."
Paisley said urgently, "Hurry up. The cold energy inside Esmeralda is already overwhelming. If it keeps building up, I won't be able to control it."
Larry nodded. "Alright, let's do this. Channel it into me."
Paisley immediately activated her Qi, infusing Esmeralda with energy. The cold energy inside her quickly flowed, entering Larry's palm.
Larry's palm began to freeze, the ice spreading rapidly, covering both hands in an instant.
He didn't dare to delay and quickly absorbed it.
This time, it took him three hours to fully absorb and refine the cold energy.
Three hours later, Larry's Qi had become much stronger.
"Alright," Paisley said, "Esmeralda's cold energy from the past few days has mostly been absorbed by you."
Larry withdrew his hand.
Paisley began removing the silver needles from Esmeralda's body and handed her the towel.
Esmeralda took it and wrapped it around herself, covering the essential parts.
Paisley asked, "Larry, how much has your Qi improved?"
Larry smiled faintly and suddenly raised his hand, striking out with his palm.
A powerful force materialized, hitting the wall in the distance.
Boom!
The tiles on the wall shattered instantly, scattering everywhere.
"Wow, that's strong," Esmeralda's eyes sparkled.
Paisley looked at Larry with admiration. "Impressive. In just half a day, your Qi's strength is comparable to the peak of the first stage. In a few more days, when Esmeralda's cold energy increases, another absorption session could push you into the second stage. This cultivation speed is truly terrifying."
Paisley was envious.
She had been practicing martial arts since childhood.
It took her over twenty years to reach the second stage.
But Larry could reach this level in just a few days.
It was truly enviable.
"Esmeralda, thank you," Larry expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Don't mention it. I'm happy to help you," Esmeralda looked at Larry with longing eyes. "Larry, can you teach me your cultivation method?"
"Of course," Larry replied with a smile.
"Wait a minute..." Paisley suddenly had a realization, looking at Larry and Esmeralda.
Larry turned to her, puzzled. "What's up?"
"I think I understand now," Paisley said, deep in thought. After a few seconds, she exclaimed, "I get it!"
"What do you understand, Paisley?"
Paisley took a deep breath. "I understand the hidden secret of the Artwork of Moonlit."
"What?" Larry looked at Paisley.
Paisley explained, "The moon in the Artwork of Moonlit represents yin, which is cold energy, and the sun represents yang, which is Qi. Yin and yang must combine for cultivation. The meridian diagram also suggests that not only should a man and woman cultivate together, but they must balance yin and yang. It requires a woman who cultivates extreme yin Qi and a man who cultivates extreme yang Qi to practice simultaneously, balancing and complementing each other."
She grew more excited as she spoke.
"The heart method in the diagram isn't meant for one person; it's meant for two people to practice together."
Larry's mind raced.
Paisley's explanation made sense.
He closed his eyes, carefully recalling the heart method from the Artwork of Moonlit.
Previously, he had tried to practice it separately, but it never worked.
If it was a method for two people, with each person practicing a part of the heart method, it could work perfectly.
